I can NOT believe their garbage left over stock sold out that fast.
My god you people are worse then nintendo fan boys
What ever they put up and stick their name on you scoop up like drug addicts.
Can't wait to see the failure rate on these!
Maybe actually decided to make reliable miner when oposition starts to show up. There was no need to design for reliabilty previously with the rapid chip improvements, now that chip efficiency gains are slowing to match Moores law it makes sense to improve reliability and minimize customer support costs. |

Still, trading efficiency and power for reliability? Farther down the road that isn't going to work. It's just a cash grab for them and we have no idea if that's true or not, if these miners are actually more reliable. Hasn't ever happened much in the past and if anything their reliabilty has gone downhill since the S1. |

As far as I can see Bitmain doesn't have any significant IP (patents etc), so I would hope as bitcoin continues to be adopted that eventually more chip foundries and manufacturers will get in the game and drive up competition, which will mean better products at better costs. |

Actually its gone the other way, a couple of years ago there were many more chip manufacturers. There are still 3 or 4 still going, but bitmain has the most efficient chip at the moment. |

Think ill wait for sidehack to get his teeth into one of these before I make a decision.
Saying that. I'm in the market for some new miners.

I'm waiting and running my KNC Titan 'mules' into the dirt. Likely at this rate with 3200mh (9 Titans) they will be doorstops at the diff rate increase. By July at this rate. Unfortunately, I think Bitmain is gonna run these out like toasters. In the same manner as their btc miners. Likely down to 3c kWh and below, to ROI I mean. Thus asserting dominance in scrypt for equip and data halls like they have done in btc world. It seems pretty obvious. |
Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:) |

More chip manufacturers we may see. More Foundries to produce their chips -- not going to happen. Aside from fabs ran by Intel and IBM there is only TSMC, Samsung, and Global Foundries that are capable of producing 16/14nm (and eventually smaller node) chips. Samsung is largely producing for their own products with so far BW chips being the only exception. That leaves only TSMC and GloFo to run boutique chips like mining ASICS so end of story there. |

My T9s arrived earlier today and are all up and running nicely. No problems to report so far. sat on the shelf beside my S9 with its 76d3h38m32s uptime  Il update if anything changes. |
Keep calm and carry on mining.

The 3 T9 units now have 8 hours run-time on them. All performing at or a little over stated hash-rate.
Temps appear to be nice and stable. Fan noise on par with the S9 i have beside them.
So far so good.
|
Keep calm and carry on mining.

I have been running 10 X T9's for 7 hours now. Cool and stable.
On another note. I have already lost 4/10 R4's from my friday delivery. Awesome.
Bitmain said they will cover shipping on them though. We will see how that works.

Here's a video I made today showing comparison of T-9 11.5 vs. S-9 12.0 variable frequency power draw at the wall. Uses more power, but runs cooler. At 210 VAC T-9 uses 1352 W, hashes at 11.5, highest chip temp 80C S-9 uses 1329 W, hashes at 12.0, highest chip temp 94C https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHJzo7A312c |

How strange the S9 is using so much more power than the stated specs on the web site. I think they quoted something like 1079w for the 12th S9 so that is significantly above the spec. Really looks like the T9 may be a winner then just based on the cooler temps and the power use looks like it isn't as bad as was stated in the spec for that unit. Good to know! The T9 may turn out to be a good unit! Please keep us posted. |
